Rockland is an exciting city full of restaurants, pubs, wine bars, art galleries, renowned museums, and shops of all descriptions, at the same time retaining its historical ambiance. A concert hall and a restored 1920's movie theater complete the downtown. The grand natural harbor, with its exceptional breakwater and lighthouse, is dotted with pleasure yachts and sailboats and the largest windjammer fleet in the world. Yet Rockland still has a working harbor with a commercial fishing and lobster boat fleet. A State Ferry operates daily to the off-shore islands. Rockland is called “The Lobster Capital Of the World” and 'The Gateway to Penobscot Bay.' The Captain Zadoc F Brewster House is perfectly located to explore the bay, the islands, the coast, parks, villages and lighthouses.

Home Away From Home

GeorgiaBlue NEWNAN, GA, USA
Review Submitted: July 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed in the upstairs apartment for two days at the beginning of our week long trip to Maine and 2 more days at the end. I loved it so much that I couldn't wait to get back. This is absolutely a wonderful home away from home. The linens were of good quality, the beds were cozy, and the towels were thick and fluffy. The house even smelled wonderful and I'm particular. We don't have pets and I'm unfortunately allergic but even though the home is pet friendly I never detected a trace of pet odor or even had a tickle in my nose. There are plenty of windows for natural light and fresh air. We never needed the air conditioning. The house is full of interesting things to read and look at and is beautifully but comfortably furnished.
There are plenty of sights and restaurants with in walking distance or a short drive. The Owl's Head Transportation Museum and Breakwater Lighthouse were some of our favorites. Camden and other lovely villages are close by as well. I loved having tea in the afternoon from a real china cup (no styrofoam!) The neighbors that we met were friendly- a couple of hospitable little girls shared there bikes with our little boys! Cathy and George have thought of everything and are so gracious, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend their home.

We had a wonderful visit. The house is beautiful and proved to be in a great location for visiting our daugher at Alford Lake Camp in Hope. The sea breeze was a fabulous change from the dry mountain air of Colorado! Thanks so much.

What a charming inn!

KatieLaura New York
Review Submitted: January 20, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
If I ever had an Inn, I'd want it to be like this one. It was such a nice place to stay during our visit to Rockland, which is a lovely town-no wonder Andrew Wyeth painted such beautiful pictures! The inn is also very nice to look at--filled with lots of beautiful woodwork, china and antiques. My favorite were the embroideries. And the innkeepers were lovely--made us feel right at home, yet delightfully away from home.

A relaxing coastal vacation

D.P. Raspanti Providence, Rhode Island
Review Submitted: January 20, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
Late last year, my girlfriend and I spent a few days at the Zadoc Brewster house in Rockland, Maine. I've visited Maine a lot over the years – I live down in Rhode Island – and was worried that Rockland might be as cluttered as Old Orchard Beach or as touristy as York.

But the experience here was nothing short of invigorating – not a lot of crowds, beautiful scenery, great restaurants, and some great hikes within a ten minute drive. Better still was the house: the antique furniture was beautiful, and the kitchen perfectly appointed. We wanted to go out and eat the first night in Rockland, but we ended up with a bottle of wine and some home-cooked food back at the Brewster house.

Plus, the caretakers, George and Cathy, were very helpful when it came to local activities. Unlike some B and B owners – you know the type – they left us mostly alone, but made themselves available when we needed them, and were always welcoming and friendly and kind.

For anyone looking for the best scenery in coastal Maine, without the sweaty mobs of tourists, this is the place. Can't recommend Rockland highly enough: great galleries, bookstores, and coffee shops, and everything within a short walk from the Brewster house.

P.S.: There's a very cute dog floating around the property – we ran into him a few times. Jake, I think his name was....
